Time Warner, whose corporate fate will be known in the coming weeks, reported better-than-expected fourth-quarter earnings due to Justice League box office and continued growth at Turner and HBO.

Total revenue grew 9% from the year-ago quarter to $8.6 billion. Operating income increased 13% to $1.9 billion.

Justice League, a November release which capped off a record-setting 2017 for the studio, has pulled in $656 million worldwide.

As it awaits the outcome of the Department of Justice’s lawsuit against AT&T seeking to block its acquisition of Time Warner, the company skipped the customary conference call with Wall Street analysts to discuss the quarterly results. In the earnings press release, CEO Jeff Bewkes touted both the quarterly and the full-year numbers, saying the company had met all of its performance targets.
